How do i start Korganizer and its reminder agent when ever i start up the X-window desktop?

I am running RH-9 Gnome desktop with both gnome and kde stuff installed.
is there an equivlent of the DOS autoexec.bat file for the linux X-windows desktop?

I know that KDE does have an autostart-feature,
not familiar with Gnome, though. You could, however,
create a .xsession / .xinitrc file in your home that
starts that app before Gnome (which one to chose
depends on how you log-in).

Cheers,
Tink

I have a shell window automatically opening when I log in. The way I found to do that is to logout from KDE while apps are still open. I also have the "Restore previous session" option selected in kcontrol -> KDE Components -> Session Manager.

He's using Gnome ... I don't think your tip will help ;)

Well in that case he should interpret my post as a suggestion to switch to KDE.

its buried deep.
start panel
preferences
more preferences
session;

on the session window there is a start program tab. you add you program to that and it start on loggin.

CAVIAT: if you do not shut down the program be for you log out; it hangs the log out. cntl-alt=backspace get you out.
